Caring For Your Mattress

Use a Protective Pad: A good quality, washable mattress pad (and one for the foundation, too, if you like) is a
must to keep your set fresh and free from stains. It also protects the manufacturers warranty. You will want to
avoid spilling any liquids on the mattress as it may void the warranty.

Let it Breathe: If you detect a slight "new product" odor, leave the mattress and foundation uncovered and well
ventilated for a few hours. Open the windows and air out the bed.

Give it Good Support: Use a sturdy bed frame. If it's a queen or king size set, make sure your frame has the
adequate center support that will prevent bowing or breakage. You may consider adding additional wood slats if
you have a wood bed frame. The more the better is a good idea. In metal frames a queen must have at least 1
center support and a king frame needs 2 center supports.

Don't dry clean: The chemicals in dry cleaning agents/spot removers may be harmful to the fabric or underlying
materials. Vacuuming is the only recommended cleaning method. But if you're determined to tackle a stain, use
mild soap with cold water and apply lightly. Do not ever soak a mattress or foundation.

Don't remove the tag: Contrary to popular belief, it's not illegal to remove the law tag, but the information on
the label will serve as a means of identification should you have a warranty claim. Most manufacturers will not
honor a warranty without these tags attached.

It's not a trampoline: Your new mattress set is designed for sleeping on - Not to play on - it is not a toy! Don't
let the kids jump on your sleep set. Their rough-housing could do damage to the interior construction, as well as
to themselves!

No boards needed: Never put a board between the mattress and foundation. It may enhance the sense of
support for a while, but it will only make the problem worse over time. When any bed in your home has reached
the "board stage", it is time to get rid of it and get a new one.

Out with the old: Now that you've treated yourself to a new sleep set, arrange to have your old bed removed
and disposed of. San Diego Mattress Man will pick it up for you or place it in a designated area.. Don't give it to
the kids, relatives, guests or neighbors. If it wasn't good enough for you, it isn't good enough for anyone else.
Throw it out!

Cleaning your Mattress: Its recommended that you vacuum your mattress every 3 months. This will help keep
your mattress fresh and clean.

Mattress Care Instructions
Body conformity is normal in quality mattresses. Your new sleep system is designed to conform to the contours of
your body allowing you a comfortable, healthy night's sleep. Body conformity will usually take place within the first
nights, certainly within the first few weeks of use. Just like a new pair of shoes, a set of bedding will break in with
the individual using it and become even more comfortable with use. If you notice some impressions, don't worry,
this means that your mattress is conforming to your body.

To help minimize body impressions and to maximize comfort and longevity of your sleep set, we recommend that
you rotate your mattress every two weeks in the first three months; and thereafter, once every two months. By
rotating your mattress the cushioning and insulation materials will be evenly and properly distributed.
